Study Summary

Comorbidity of alcohol use disorder (AD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common. Currently available treatments often do not lead to sustained recovery from these disorders, possibly because they typically do not include exposure therapy which is considered best practice treatments for PTSD. This study compares exposure-based integrated treatment to integrated coping skills psychotherapy (a well disseminated practice) for comorbid AD and PTSD with the hypothesis that exposure therapy will allow those with PTSD to better sustain PTSD symptom reduction and reduction in alcohol use. The aim of this grant is to change common treatment practices for comorbid AD and PTSD by increasing the availability of evidence-based PTSD treatment for those with AD.

Primary Outcome

The CAPS-5 (score range, 0-80, with 0 indicating no PTSD symptoms and 80 indicating extreme ratings across all symptoms), a 30-item structured interview considered to be the criterion standard for PTSD, was the primary measure of PTSD symptoms and diagnosis. Diagnosis was determined using the rule of a severity score of 2 or higher, which follows DSM-5 PTSD criteria.
